Who Should Attend?
Staff from AFI member institutions in Africa who are closely involved in the development of polices and guidelines/frameworks in relation to digital financial services (DFS), payment systems, bank supervision, financial inclusion and stability will benefit the most from the training. The key topics to be discussed in this training are:
